Sunday January 8, 2023 - US Kids Tournament

So this was the first US Kids tournament of the year and only the second one Trevor has ever played in. After five straight tournament wins on the X3 Tour, this was a huge dose of reality as the boy struggled to a round of 96. No lost balls, just one penalty stroke, but horrible putting, less than average chipping, and lousy approach shots.

MAJOR mistake: No lunch, no snacks in the bag = completely out of gas on the back nine.

Something good to take out of this was on the 471 yard par 4, yes par 4, he had a 274 yard drive (longest ever) and a 200 yard 5 wood to get on the green in regulation.

It's all good. This round will be the absolute floor for the rest of his golf life. He knows what he needs to work on and he'll build off of this.

The boy and I had an absolute blast with Cliff and his buddy Normy. Normy looks very much like Jim Furyk. I LOVED this course - lots of elevation changes in a gorgeous setting. The kid shot an 81 and notched his 10th birdie of the year when he drove the green on the short par four 9th hole and two putted from the first cut. His reward was a ride in Uncle Cliff's Ferrari back to his place where we hung out for a couple of hours before our flight home.

Well after a completely revamped practice schedule, the kid put together his most complete round ever in tournament play and shot a 75 at Leisure World.

Trevor played The Shoals - Fighting Joe course with Bill Beumer, the head golf coach at Grissom High School in Huntsville. The state championship is being played at this course so he wanted to get familiar with it. Trevor got off to a rocky start but birdied back to back holes to finish the front nine and cruised to an 82 on yet another great course.
